Stars of the upcoming film Alf Leila Wa Leila (A Thousand and One Nights), Nelly and Mahmoud Qabeel were surprised on Saturday that they were missing one essential prop on their first day of shooting; costumes!

According to the ‘Akhbar Al Nujum,’ magazine, the lack of clothing was a big problem, since the film, a historical production, needed period costumes.

According to the Egyptian publication, the actors, headed straight to director Amro Abadeen, who in turn, sent a driver to pick up the costumes.

To add more insult to injury, it took the driver 5 hours to return - Albawaba.
